Blue sky day at PLPP following the new grooming. I started at the Visitor Centre at 9:30 and -3, and the snow was slightly icy but really manageable with my skins. I started up Meadow, Wooley, Amos, and Wheeler to the base of Packers, but when I left the new grooming and started up Packers it quickly became clear that it needed a few hours to soften up before I would feel comfortable going down some of the hills. I turned back and continued down Wheeler, which was mostly good but had some icier sections (especially near the south picnic table) where the groomer couldn’t lay down tracks. I did another run up Meadow and Wheeler before turning down Amos, which was softening up, and coming back on Wheeler and Meadow. It was +10 back at the parking lot at noon. Beautiful spring skiing!
